This update does not introduce very many new features as it was focused on fixes while I work on some larger changes for a future version of HemoSpat. Several of these changes and fixes are the result of feedback from users, so thank you!

For macOS users, support for macOS 10.12 was added.

There are some changes to the number of decimals that are displayed that you should be aware of. The details may be found in the release notes.

With a focus on working more closely with 3rd party software, the new version of HemoSpat introduces a new file format called the HemoSpat Coordinate Exchange Format (.hscx). This allows other software to send position, scale, and orientation information to HemoSpat for use when exporting 3D models so we can line up the HemoSpat data with the point cloud or model in the other software.

FORident Software worked with the developers of Leica Geosystems IMS Map360 to improve the workflow between our software using this new exchange format. An upcoming version of IMS Map360 will have tools in it to generate this file for use with HemoSpat’s exporters.

For Windows users, Windows 10 support was added and the installers were rewritten to better handle two cases: users without administrator privileges and machine-wide installations for universities and training organizations.

In our ongoing effort to improve usability, version 1.10 introduces a couple of new zoom options – Zoom To Fit Ellipse & Zoom To Fit Analysis to make it easier to navigate your images when performing an analysis. The ellipse selection tool was also modified slightly to make it easier to use in low-contrast situations.

The update checker will work once again now that both the website and the software communicate using SSL/TLS.

This release fixes several usability issues with zooming and navigation around images, speeds up loading of projects and creating new stains using the Point Select tool, and fixes a couple of potential crashes relating to the 2D Viewer and moving/deleting stains.
